Abstract
The present invention is directed to beverage dispensers and more specifically to a beverage dispensing nozzle that provides a short and direct beverage pathway. The nozzle is adapted for use in a self-cleaning assembly that provides for efficient cleaning of all of its surfaces that contact beverage products. The nozzle can be configured with an inlet port that provides a relatively direct product flow pathway from a beverage mixing chamber in the dispenser.
